Is it just me or is Hugo a little bit harder to get into than it used to? It took me half an hour to figure out (sort of) how to handle images between pages, posts, bundles etc 😵

I spent some time playing around with Text-to-Speech services recently (using vanilla ChatGPT as input). 🔊 The classic Siri voice really sounds like a relic nowadays 🤯

Haven't really done any validation, but it's one of those "eat your own dog food" cases

I'll be starting - or to be more precise, restarting - a small project I've been thinking about for some time. Certainly useful for me, hopefully for others as well #buildinginpublic

[Akis Manolis @akiscman]

I think it's about time I started #buildinginpublic. At the very least it should be a new source of motivation!

The @AppleCard is such a fucking sexist program. My wife and I filed joint tax returns, live in a community-property state, and have been married for a long time. Yet Apple’s black box algorithm thinks I deserve 20x the credit limit she does. No appeals work.

What's the absolute smallest version of the thing you're trying to build? Ship that first.

I had the idea for Gumroad on a Friday night. I launched it Monday morning. Eight years later we've sent over $215M to creators.

It's a minor thing but PHP's `isset` can accept multiple vars which will allow you to simplify your code. 💅

I love to work with docker containers and I wrote 8+1 reasons why. https://t.co/lcpKHkyqex #docker #containers #development

Set aside time to create something every day.

Such a little thing, but #smallwins really matter

Sometimes you just need someone to remind you that your work is appreciated. It's revisit and expand this add-on! 🤨👨‍💻 #motivation

[Akis Manolis @akiscman]

Realizing that about fifteen hundred people are using it, or at the very least have it installed helps out as well!
